Chapter 159: Foolishness, how could he be so partial?
"You've come at the right time. Go and call Qingxue and the others to get vaccinated." Lin Ruhui ordered.
Little Chen's face was solemn, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "Master, please don't do that. I heard...I heard that Miaoyin vaccinated the people of Shiqiao Town a few days ago, and many people died from the vaccination. We...we must not vaccinate!"
"Shut up!" Lin Ruhui suddenly became stern, "Who told you this?"
Little Chen bit her lip, "I..."
If it were in the past, she could still pretend to be virtuous and sensible, but now this is a matter of life and death!
The incident of Lin Miaoyin's death from smallpox vaccination had caused a sensation in Shengjing. Even he, a woman in the inner chamber, had heard about it. It must not be groundless. Even if he wanted to clear Lin Miaoyin's name, he couldn't drag their entire family to death!
Lin Miaoyin is the apple of his eye, so are Qingxue and Zhaoheng, the children she gave birth to, just stepping stones for Lin Miaoyin?
How could he be so partial?
Seeing that Xiao Chen not only did not move but also had a resentful look on her face, Lin Ruhui sighed softly.
In the past, he always thought that Xiao Chen was gentle and virtuous. Although she was not as beautiful and intelligent as Yuan's wife, she was also reasonable. But now he felt more and more that he had been deceived and blinded.
Although my mother is illiterate, she understands the big principles.
In the early years, she often told him that a virtuous wife would bring prosperity to three generations, but he did not agree.
Now that the children in the family have been raised in a mess by Xiao Chen, he finally came to his senses, but it was too late.
He is not a good father either.
Taking a deep breath, he instructed Steward Lin, "Go and invite the young lady and young master from the family."
Just as Butler Lin was about to leave, Mrs. Chen gave him a hurried look.
Lin Ruhui took in this scene, and anger suddenly surged in his heart, "Make sure to bring the Second Young Master here!"
Little Chen was instantly panicked, "Master..."
Hearing her voice, Lin Ruhui felt annoyed and raised his hand to stop her from speaking.
He never thought that Xiao Chen was so ignorant.
Soon, Steward Lin brought Lin Zhaoheng and Lin Zhaoyuan into the study room. "Your Excellency, I just sent someone to Shou'an Hall to deliver a message. As for the Second Miss... I heard from the maid that the Second Miss was so emotional that she fainted. I don't think she will be able to come for a while."
Lin Ruhui knew that Lin Qingxue still hated him because of her marriage with Prince Jing and refused to come out.
Well, she has been under house arrest anyway, so she won’t be in danger.
If you don’t want to get vaccinated, then don’t get vaccinated.
"Father, geese don't want to shit, and geese don't want to be vaccinated..."
After Steward Lin finished speaking, before Lin Ruhui could open his mouth, Lin Zhaoheng began to cry at the top of his lungs. Because he was missing a tooth, his speech was lisp and unclear.
As he spoke, he grabbed Xiao Chen's clothes again and said, "Mom, please beg Dad, geese won't be vaccinated..."
Little Chen hesitated and said, "Master, how about..."
Yuzhu looked at the two of them and just wanted to roll her eyes.
Love to plant but don’t plant.
Do you really think she is willing to vaccinate them?
Lin Ruhui felt a headache because of the noise and looked over sternly. Lin Zhaoheng immediately shut up, but his little hands continued to pull at Xiao Chen to beg.
But facing Lin Ruhui's gloomy face, Xiao Chen did not dare to speak.
"Zhaoyuan, you are the eldest brother, you go first." Lin Ruhui took a deep breath and waved to Lin Zhaoyuan.
"Yes, my child obeys."
Lin Zhaoyuan stepped forward, walked up to Yuzhu and said politely, "Thank you, Sister Yuzhu."
"It's all my duty. Young Master, you are really embarrassing me by saying that." Yuzhu skillfully pulled up Lin Zhaoyuan's clothes, made a cross-shaped incision on his arm, and applied smallpox pus.
Lin Zhaoheng became even more frightened when he saw the knife in her hand and refused to be vaccinated no matter what.
"Mom, please save the goose. The goose doesn't want to poop. The goose doesn't want to poop..." He pulled Xiao Chen and cried.
Seeing him throwing a tantrum, Lin Ruhui's chest heaved violently and he almost fainted. He slammed the table and said, "Go, apply for family discipline. I'm going to teach him a lesson today!"
Butler Lin's heart trembled, and when he was about to accept the order and leave, he heard footsteps at the study door.
When he turned his head, he saw Lin Lanyue and Lin Wenjie supporting Huang and walking over. Huang had a serious look on her face and was holding a two-foot-long ebony wood in her hand.
"Mother." Lin Ruhui immediately stepped forward and saluted.
Huang directly handed over the ebony in her hand, "Old woman, I brought the family rules here."
"What are you two still standing there for? Hold him down!" Lin Ruhui took the ebony wood and gave orders to his subordinates.
The servant was wary of Xiao Chen and was a little hesitant.
The mistress of their Right Prime Minister's Mansion has a kind appearance but a cold heart, and is particularly calculative.
If I offend her today, I will be troubled by her in the future, and I am afraid I can't even stay in the Lin family.
How could Lin Ruhui not see it, so he directly ordered Xiao Chen: "Hold him down!"
"Master?" Little Chen was stunned and a little bit unbelievable.
"Wenjie, you go!" Huang knocked the ground hard with her crutch and ordered sternly.
Children will not become useful if they are not beaten.
She has long wanted to give this grandson a good scolding!
Lin Wenjie was not afraid of Xiao Chen and directly pressed Lin Zhaoheng under him.
During the few days since he came to Shengjing, he had suffered a lot from this brat. Relying on the fact that he was the legitimate son of the Right Prime Minister, he did not take him seriously at all. Not only did he not call him brother, he also called him a country bumpkin every day.
You think he's unsophisticated, right? Today, I'll show him the strength of this country bumpkin!
"Let me go, you country bumpkin, let me go!" Lin Zhaoheng started punching and kicking Lin Wenjie.
Xiao Chen wanted to cover his mouth, but it was too late.
Lin Ruhui's face turned dark, and he started to whip Lin Zhaoheng with the ebony wood. Lin Zhaoheng burst into tears in pain and began to struggle subconsciously.
However, the more he struggled, the tighter Lin Wenjie pressed on him, and he could not move at all.
Lin Ruhui became angry and hit him with the stick several times in one breath.
Lin Zhaoheng was beaten to pieces, and little Chen felt so distressed that she rushed over to protect Lin Zhaoheng.
Lin Ruhui was even more disgusted, "A loving mother often spoils her son. Sooner or later you will kill him!"
He pulled Xiao Chen away and continued beating her.
Little Chen accidentally bumped into a chair beside her, screamed, and fell down limply.
When Lin Zhaoheng saw her faint, his first reaction was not heartache, but worry. He was afraid that after Xiao Chen fainted, no one would protect her, so he kept shouting, "Goose vaccination, goose vaccination, father, spare my life..."
Only then did Lin Ruhui throw away the ebony.
Lin Zhaoheng was severely beaten, and finally he obediently received the smallpox vaccination in Huang's arms.
Next, Yuzhu vaccinated Huang and Lin Lanyue's brother and sister. As for Chen, she didn't want to be vaccinated and fainted again. Huang had someone carry her back to the upper room early in the morning.
Before Yuzhu left, Huang held her hand and asked with concern, "Is Miaoyin okay?"
"Don't worry, old lady. The princess is fine."
"That's good, that's good." Huang was reluctant to leave. "Go back and tell her to come home to see me after she finishes her work. I will be back to Jiangzhou in a few days."
